I'm not expecting anything more than a tour, and I'm happy with just that. New music hasn't ever really been on my radar for S Club and that's okay, they'd all have to be seriously invested in it to make it worthwhile I guess and I don't think they are, like Steps. Not to mention how some of them were hired more for acting than singing, and a TV show return obviously isn't on the cards, which could make it less tempting for some members? Either way, I'll absolutely be at the tour and having the time of my life!! I hope they do meet and greet!!!

 

Isn't the issue here that because Simon Fuller basically owns everything around S Club, which means that the group members get paid dirt compared to groups like Steps, Spice Girls etc.? I just don't think they want to put in more effort than it's worth themselves, plus Fuller wants maximum profit. Unless something changes on that front, I don't think they'll ever be motivated to actually try too hard since they'll just line Fuller's pockets anyway.

^ yes he did them dirty they hardly made anything

Exactly this. Which is why it's probably a big contribution to certain members not really wanting or having the heart to do it. And actually it makes me sad knowing a group that gave me such joy - and many others - was being basically underpaid relative to their peers in the industry. And it's not just because there was two more members than any other regular pop group.

 

I know it happens all the time in the industry and I'm not saying Simon didn't do a lot of things right by them - he launched and marketed them incredibly well. But how he treated them in terms of financial recompense etc wasn't right and when they're now in their 40s, you can't just expect them to fall back into line like it's 2001 again. They need properly rewarding.

I remember feeling for them when I found out how little they were paid in comparison, I think it was around the time of their reunion. They gave so much and were worked so hard.

It seems 'S Club Party' is still going on, however, as Tina & Bradley have just been announced to perform at a bar on the Isle of Wight next month.

Jo is (not quite) ready for the reunion, it seems.

Yeah I read she had back trouble. Sounds like it’s ongoing poor thing. Hoping she can make a full recovery.

If not, throw her some tramadol and morphine - get her on that stage.

 

I’m (mostly) joking!

Dear god no solos except for Rachel thank you, the 6 solo songs last time was such a drag (apart from Rachel which was a highlight).

You’re not joking at all! :lol:

Tbf, I’m on (prescribed) strong painkillers every day so I know what it’s like!

Did Tina do this? :o

 

Is the setlist available for last tour?

I think literally one minute each, in and off in a rapid fire medley - not full songs - could be quite fun.

 

But certainly no individual solos.

Is the setlist available for last tour?

The choice of songs was solid but I'd definitely have scrapped the covers. Paul's acoustic Reach was a cuter moment than I expected, the crowd really got into it in the end too, but I don't think we need that kinda thing again. If they're doing solo moments, keep to the album tracks like Tina, or even the deep cuts like Jo and Jon, Hello Friend is a lovely track! Hannah could easily have done Stand By You, Dance Dance Dance or Hey Kitty Kitty I think, while Paul could've done Good Times? We definitely deserved a proper Friday Night performance from Bradley too!

Was Love Train from 7 a Paul solo? ,have he could or could’ve done that.

Thanks, thought so. I remember him singing in that episode of LA 7. The one that was set a like a children’s school or something.
